Moray Co-ordinator: Linda Eagland Welcome to the Moray section of the website. The Moray Group has moved to Moray College, meeting on a monthly basis, typically a Thursday lunchtime between 12 and 2 pm. The move appears to have prompted an encouraging growth in interest from women who are increasingly aware of the necessity to, 'say what women want'. With this in mind we have chosen topics to attract comment from and respond to, women and their needs. These meetings are for all women. Feeling our contribution to life'e events often overlooked, the meetings offer an opportunity for women in Moray to express their ideas, have their voice heard and make fresh choices about their lives. If you have any ideas, experiences or interests you think may be useful to our group and for which we can arrange speakers, please get in touch.
